YAWN at yet another of your tedious posts. If you opened your eyes for once, you'd see that I do participate in many more
threads than this one.
Hardly. Click on your own profile and see for yourself. And frankly Rob as you show scant regard when addressing me, don't expect anything different in return.
Now please do go back on topic. Don't you have presenters dentist appointments to publish?
I think we can expect some changes in the World Newsroom in the next month or two and here's some interesting quote from a BBC executive regarding World...
Quote:
On two presenter format - we are looking to do this on some of our other
bulletins though not necessarily exactly as The World Today. We need to
make some adjustments to the set which we are hoping to do before the
end of the year.
I think the two presenter format would be quite good again. I wonder if they'll go back to the "old" format of BBC Newshour and The World Today, i.e. in the days when Stephen Cole would present BBC News Hour as the lead presenter, but there was a secondary newscaster who would sit on the same set but at a different desk and read out the news headlines and news segments (a bit like Moira does now on Breakfast).
The secondary presenter was usually Liz Pike, Keshini Navartnam, Teymoor Nabili, Anita MacNaught and the like.
I can only assume that this is the type of presentation they are alluding to, since the current TWT format only has single newscaster plus biz/sports presenter, both of whom sit at the same desk. So, if they planned to go to double headed news presentation, they could still in theory use the same desk, and go to remote for the business and sports news (just as used to happen on N24 or biz at LSE).
I do hope that they re-introduce some new programming titles, like NewsHour, NewsDay and The World Today - all titles from the past.
Nice to see Ms Bundock back today, but I noticed something very odd; I'll try and explain.
When BBC News launched their new graphics last December and whilst watching TWT you often would see the BBC World bug animate on and the News 24 bug animate over it, now the News 24 bug is keyed over a different source which obviously doesn't have the BBC World bug on it becuase we never see it anymore and its always a clean transition. This morning I noticed in the background where I could see a News 24 off air monitor and a World off air monitor the supers on TWT's World Business Report were different styles.
World supers used the WBR branded supers with the blue part on the right and some WBR type graphics on the main top bar.
Meanwhile on News 24 they used the standard red and black news supers i.e. not WBR branded.
The only reason I mention this is becuase if I'm right it is very odd to have two different styles of supers on the same programme for different clients. I can understand World and N24 using different bugs but giving N24 the non WBR supers is obviously going to take some effort.
I guess what I'm trying to establish is A) Am I correct? and B) How is it achieved & why?

IIRC it was disscused a few months ago that N8 and N9 now have the ability to control each other's tOG (the device that generates the tower and graphics) without needing someone to manually control the device in the other gallery. So, if this is the case, for The World Today it looks like News 24 now take a clean source of N9 without any tOG generated graphics, and the content added by the director in the World gallery is syndicated to the tOG in N8, and is automatically generated and superimposed on the News 24 feed.

There are no immediate plans to return to two headed presentation. However, the channel controller does want that option for covering big events in the future.
Expect some changes over the next few weeks, not only to the World Newsroom, but to the structure of the programmes and the way the channel copes with breaks.
I await with interest to see what developments are made...
By the way, does anyone think BBC World shoud return to its old signature tune? I think it should cus that way it will stand out more from N24. What they could do is do the thunderclaps at the start and then play the old signature tune from there.

I can't wait either, I hope the BBC can make their global channel actually look like a global channel, rather then BBC News 24's poor relation.
